Frosty Ferns
I've had a UFO pinned to my design wall for over a year. I'd cut up a piece of fabric I had gelatin plate printed with ferns and stitched the pieces onto white fabric. And then.... the thing languished on my wall. I tried a few ideas but nothing spoke to me; I didn't know what to do next.
As I was out in the garden last week, I brushed up against some of my ferns. They're not giant-sized yet, but they are a very pretty shape. I brought a few indoors, traced around the edges, and free-motion quilted the silhouette of two of the ferns. An intermittent vein detail done with a running stitch in a contrasting thread completed the quilt.
Now to pack it up and send it off to the New Mexico Quilt Association Spring Fantasy Quilt show. They've accepted Frosty Ferns for their upcoming show!
